In order to thrive, you need food that tastes good and is good for you. Our nutrition programs are designed to serve seniors 60+ and adults with disabilities, whether it’s at one of our community dining sites or through home-delivered meals. Individualized nutrition counseling and education programs are also available.
Community Dining Sites
DACL has over 40 community dining sites across all eight wards of Washington, DC. Find a community dining site near you by visiting the website.
Home-Delivered Meals
DACL delivers prepared meals to adults 60 years of age or older at their homes throughout the city. The spouses of homebound adults or disabled persons that reside with these homebound adults may also be eligible to receive these meals.
Nutrition Counseling
A registered and licensed dietitian or other health professional can offer education and suggestions for improving your nutritional status based on your needs. This one-on-one advice and guidance is provided to individuals who are at nutritional risk because of their nutritional history, current dietary intake, medication use, or chronic illnesses.
Nutrition Education
Nutrition education programs are provided to promote better health and well-being by providing accurate and culturally sensitive nutrition, physical fitness, or health information and instruction to participants and caregivers in a group or individual setting, supervised by a dietitian or other health professional.
